First Car —
I think this is a good first car for people who dont really want to pay alot of money for one, it gets around with good gas mileage, it definitely isnt a drag car, its pretty fun to drive though. I have had this car for 1 1/2 years and i really do like it. the fastest ive gone in it was 110 mph but it shuts down at 111 it has the gt engine and ive been thinkin about puttin money into the engine cause it does have the room to grow.

Pros

fast

Cons

the frame lol

35

Good Car —
good workin car .. get it undercoated though or it will rot out and dont use it as a off roading car thinking its a 4 wheel drive cause its not but does do good in mud and snow and they are fast if it has a 2.4

Pros

Its purple.

Cons

Random Noises haha

35

Bat-mobile —
It is purple which makes it totally awesome. Everyone calls it the bat mobile which is pretty sweeto. It takes corners like a pro. But sometimes it makes odd noises and im not sure what will happen next. Ha ha

Pros

Cons

its a pontiac

98 Sunfire —
its a pontiac. what more needs to be said. however a great
first car. insurance is RELATIVELY cheap and gas is dirt cheap.

you posted on it

Pros

The liftoff when you gas it... pedal to the floor!

Cons

Its thirsty... very thirsty when you accelerate it.

Niceeee... —
The only thing that makes my car constantly in the garage is that I dont have spare parts in my country anymore. But with the propper technical service, this Pontiac would be as fast and powerful than that day i bought it. Its a wonderful and fun ride to have. and very powerful too for the money.

Pros

can speed without even knowing it

Cons

brakes
